Land art and site specific sculpture - land art uses
the environment and its scale as its material. Concrete art is expressed in
material itself with which the artist introduces her non-representational objective.
Public art can be viewed and accessed by observers.

In 1993 I was invited to make
a proposal for a sculpture on an artificial mound in the center
of new Houten. Two other sculptors were also invited to submit
a proposal. As The Netherlands is for the most part flat, not
counting the dunes near the North Sea and The province of Limburg,
all other hills and mounds were man-made - either to escape
the high tides of rivers and seas, or now days to give people
an opportunity to see the surroundings from a different perspective.

In
my environmental and landscape projects I always also have the
aerial or satellite view in mind. Here I only had the horizon
before me and the mound, which was no more that a subtle knoll.
It needed a sculptural complement to make its shape more pronounced.
Seven fifteen meter long curved stainless steel pipes perform
a dance up and down the mound and over the footpath. Upon discovering
this sculpture on Google Maps I was reminded of the scale model
I had made for my proposal.
